The orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation proposed in recent years is considered to have superior performance than orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for the doubly selective (DS) channels. The works in the existing literature on OTFS mainly focus on the cases where the channels are underspread (i.e.
the product of the delay spread and the Doppler spread is less than 1). In the scenario of overspread DS channel
which has large delay spread and severe Doppler spread
such as underwater acoustic (UWA) channel
the channel model in delay-Doppler (DD) Domain derived by existing work is no longer applicable. In this paper
we derive a more generalized expression of the channel model in delay-Doppler domain
which allows the product of the delay spread and Doppler spread to be larger than 1. The result shows that the existing channel model is just a special case of the one we proposed. Using the proposed channel matrix in DD domain
we build the OTFS detectors with the minimum mean square error (MMSE) and message passing (MP) algorithms on overspread doubly selective channel. Finally
simulation results are presented to verify the theoretical derivation and the effectiveness of the detectors.
